I've now looked at the description of the NJ Genealogical Society's holdings at Rutgers and have found some interesting items. What a formidable index of Bible records in their collection! I wonder what's in the first 3900 plus. There are some cemetery records as well that interest me. With luck I'll be able to spend 5 or 6 days in the Amwell-Ringoes area this summer. David Is there an index of Bible records by name? Still serching for our missing family bible Laurence Lance Seattle

Laurence, There is a guide to the Genealogical Society of New Jersey at http://www.rootsweb.com/~njgsnj/collectionguide.html An index exists for Bible Records nos. 3991 to 5833.

Hi All I'm glad you spotted the Genealogical Society of New Jersey's online index to the Bible and Family Records Collections! Our webmaster and volunteers have been busy getting that up and running. (Thanks Michelle!) They began with the most recent bible records first (starting with 3900.) The search engine is new on our website also. Our webmaster and volunteers have also been working on adding finding aids for our other collections to the website, as well. So, if you haven't checked it out recently - you might want to give it a shot. The easiest way into our website is www.gsnj.org I'm sure there are plans to work backward to add the earlier Bible and Family Records index to the website. In the meantime, however, you can contact the Society at PO Box 1291, New Brunswick NJ 08903 if you want to ask if we have other specific families mentioned in this record collection. Thanks again and happy hunting! Regards, Joan Joan M. Lowry Genealogical Society of New Jersey mailto:jml-gsnj@earthlink.net website: www.gsnj.org
